Funcom has shared some stats on the Dune: Awakening beta that took place last weekend, and players certainly got up to some bloody business. The only substantial water supply in the early game is the blood of your enemies, and in four days of the beta players extracted 8,715,331 liters of blood from fallen foes…
Stellar Blade, the action game where if you squint it will look like Nier: Automata, is finally coming to PC on June 11. Actually, you don’t even have to squint to make it look like Nier: Automata because the DLC that lets main character Eve wear 2B’s outfit comes with it. It’s a complete edition,…
In August 2024, Bandai Namco announced that it was shuttering service and cancelling Europe and US launch plans for Blue Protocol, its anime action MMO that had been playable in Japan since 2023. Players grieved. They wept. In January, they danced in their virtual world’s final moments as Blue Protocol went offline forever. You can…
It’s a grim day in Wordle Nation: almost exactly 50% of Wordle players saw their coveted Wordle streaks come to an end. That’s because today’s word (puzzle 1426) is the fifth toughest in Wordle history.

You’ve got to hand it to Ubisoft: despite Star Wars Outlaws’ rocky launch, it’s stuck with it doggedly, releasing a whole series of updates that have hugely improved the game’s performance, stability, and the core play experience. Here we are, nine months on from the original release, and it’s still going, with a new major…
Driver updates—yes, I know they’re not fun, but we’ve all got to do them. At the very least, they’re somewhat less nerve-wracking than a BIOS update; I know I really should do those more often, too, but the thought of something going awry part-way through just makes me queasy. Asus at least has a driver…
This time last summer, AMD’s venerable Ryzen 7 7800X3D was selling for about £320 here in the UK. Fast forward one year of events that—well, let’s not even get into them, we’ll only depress ourselves—but fast forward one year, and the same chip sells for £380. And that’s just here in the UK—over in the…
They call it the one-two punch. Yesterday, GSC popped its head up to say, hey, next week it’s gonna put out those original Stalker remasters it promised last year. Today, it’s popped its head up to say if that doesn’t satisfy you then it’s also got over 700 fixes for Stalker 2. Crucially, it has…
When everything is on fire—or at least distracting you by insisting it’s on fire—it’s hard to focus on any single blaze, but Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah has added to the list of worries for US citizens using the internet. Lee wants to criminalize online pornography, and while that’s alarming enough as is, his…
